Production designer Florencia Martin took extra care to get the details of early '70s Valley right for director Paul Thomas Anderson.

But she credits a pair of his low-budget music videos for the Valley-based band Haim with teaching her what Anderson wants. “Working closely with a small group of people actively producing and shooting something on location, there’s a dialogue,” says Martin. “Just seeing the way Paul shoots, you understand how to approach something.”

The big gym, the big, open arcade where Alana and Gary first meet, the sprinklers going. I grew up in West L.A. thinking that every school looks like that. Then I went to college in Pittsburgh and saw what other high schools look like and realized, “Oh, that’s a California-style school.”I was like, “I know waterbeds.” My stepdad had a waterbed, my high school boyfriend had a waterbed. We found names of people who are still in the business in an L.A. Times article.

We didn’t want to shoot at any of the red-booth steakhouses in L.A. — lots of films have already been shot there. So we looked at Billingsley’s, where Paul shot “Magnolia.”

I liked ‘Licorice Pizza’ (2021). Interesting movie.
